Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

retail theft

My 17 year old daughter was arrested for retail theft, however she did not take anything or have anything on her. They told her she needed to plead guilty to this charge in order to get on a program to have it removed from her record. We need to know if this is a wise thing to do seeing as she did not take anything and has proof of a perchase she made in the store even though they said in the report that no purchase was made? We would like a consultation with someone so she can explain herself and see what she should do in her best interest.

Re: retail theft

You should certainly seek the advice of an attorney before she agrees to a program or a guilty plea. Call me if we have an office in your area. If not, maybe we can help you find a good attorney.
